Standard Water Meter Opt-Out

Madison Water Utility has an Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) network that reads and transmits water consumption on a daily basis. Some customers may choose not to have a transmitter inside their home. MWU's opt-out policy offers two options: have the transmitter installed on the outside of the building, or not have it installed on the property at all.

  • Option 1: Electronic Read Transmitter (ERT) installed on the outside of residence/building: $50.69 one-time charge
  • Option 2: No Electronic Read Transmitter (ERT) on property: $4.06 additional monthly charge

Please fill out and submit an opt-out form if you are interested in one of the two options above.
